PADUCAH. KY. 
Farm News from Albany 
Action Has Started on Indemnities for TB Cattle 
T wo bills of particular interest to 
farmers have been introduced, one 
providing for the payment of cattle al¬ 
ready slaughtered having tuberculosis, 
and the other to pay for the estimated 
value of cattle to be slaughtered during 
the year of 1923 and winter of 1924. 
The total sum made available to pay 
for these tubercular cattle, should these 
bills become law, is $5,000,000. At the 
present rate of inspection of herds of 
the State, it is doubted if this sum will 
any more than take care of the two 
years’ work. These two bills, should 
they become law, will make it possible 
for the farmers to receive their money 
very soon after the slaughter of their 
diseased animals condemned during 
this year. 
* * * 
There are several bills introduced 
called Blue Sky Bills. The object of 
these bills is to 
prevent or pro¬ 
tect the public 
from buying so 
many fake secu¬ 
rities, also licens¬ 
ing brokers in 
such securities, 
hoping to elimi¬ 
nate many crooks 
from taking ad¬ 
vantage of small 
investors. The 
chief argument 
against this leg¬ 
islation is that it 
is impossible to 
use the licensing 
power of the 
State without ap- 
p a r e ntly giving 
the approval of 
the State to a 
man or to the se¬ 
curities that he 
has to s e 11. As 
many securities 
do have more or 
less value and as 
most stock inves- 
ments are more 
or less specula¬ 
tive, it is feared that the broker will 
show that he has the approval of the 
State by having been granted a license. 
By the use of this license he would be 
able to sell in many instances to people 
who otherwise might fear to purchase 
stock from any source. This is a ques¬ 
tion which has many angles, and a 
remedy is needed, because something 
should be done to protect people from 
themselves. 
ig * * 
A bill has been introduced adding 
additional regulations as to the labeling 
and advertising of substitutes for but¬ 
ter, prohibiting the use of the words 
butter, creamery or dairy, or the nanie 
of any breed of dairy cattle which 
would lead the public to believe that 
they were getting a dairy product. 
Should this bill become law, it will 
prevent fraud in many instances in the 
sale of these substitutes, and will 
strengthen the present law and make 
prosecution much easier than it is at 
the present time. 
H' H* 
A bill providing for a bond issue of 
$15,000,000 for the purpose of improv¬ 
ing and extending State Parks and 
establishing new State Parks and Park¬ 
ways, in other words, to create a com¬ 
prehensive and uniform State Park 
System, has been introduced. If it 
passes, this bond issue will be submit¬ 
ted to the people of the State for rati¬ 
fication at the annual election this fall. 
The terms of this bill provide for the 
amount to be used in connection with 
each particular park or parks. 
* 4: * 
The Senate has passed a bill to 
abolish the Council of Farms and Mar¬ 
kets, and to have the Commissioner of 
Farms' and Markets appointed by the 
Governor. 
The Senate also passed a bill to re¬ 
peal the censorship of motion pictures. 
Both of these bills will have to be 
passed by the Assembly before they can 
go to*the Governor. 
* .I: * 
The Judiciary Committee of the Sen¬ 
ate held a hearing on the Byrne Bill, 
which would add a new section to the 
State Charities Law, requiring the 
filing of sworn statements with local 
authorities by corporations or organi¬ 
zations soliciting gifts of money or 
property. At present many busy men 
and women feel that they are 1^- 
ing misled in making gifts to socie¬ 
ties whose purposes they do not fully 
understand. 
* * H: 
The program before the Legislature 
for compensation legislation tends to 
take in more employees of labor. It is 
very possible, if this is passed, that 
farmers who have been exempt from 
the provisions of the Compensation 
Law may be compelled to carry com¬ 
pensation insurance. 
4: * 
Some 170 bills are in the Legislature 
relating to automobiles and traffic regu- 
1 a t i 0 n of same. 
Many of these 
laws have to do 
with the regula¬ 
tion of the auto- 
mobile traffic 
along the lines of 
Governor Smith’s 
recommendations, 
which would give 
the sheriff, his as¬ 
sistants, the State 
Police and local 
police greater au¬ 
thority as to the 
e n f 0 r cement of 
the present 1 a w 
and canceling of 
licenses. An im¬ 
portant hearing 
has been held be¬ 
fore the j o i n t 
Senate and As¬ 
sembly Internal 
A ff a irs Commit¬ 
tee upon all of 
this automobile 
legislation. A t 
this hearing, 
many represen¬ 
tatives of a u to¬ 
rn 0 b i le associa¬ 
tions were present to insist upon fair 
automobile laws. 
* He * 
A State Canal Barge Commission to 
determine what type of vessel is best 
adapted for use on the State canals 
would be created under the terms of a 
bill introduced in the Legislature. An¬ 
other canal bill would provide for the 
construction of barge canal terminals 
at Kingston, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie 
and Yonkers. These bills represent 
efforts to get something out of the canal 
worth the investment to the State. 
^ 
Assemblyman Witter has introduced 
k bill which carries an appropriation 
of $30,000 to help support the Eastern 
States Apple and Fruit Exposition to 
be held next fall in New York City. 
. • * 
The Assembly Ways and Means Com¬ 
mittee reported favorably Assemblyman 
McGinnies’ bill appropriating $2,000,- 
000 toward the construction of New 
York-New Jersey Vehicular Tunnel. 
This would be New York State’s part 
toward this construction. This tunnel 
will provide for traffic under the river 
by automobiles and trucks. 
Hn ^ 
An interesting bill in the Senate pro¬ 
vides “for the giving of greater pub¬ 
licity to the industrial, agricultural, 
residential and recreational advantages 
of the State of New York.” 
^ 
We have before mentioned a bill 
which provides for the consolidation 
and unity of effort between the Geneva 
Experiment Station and the Cornell 
College of Agriculture. The bill would 
make Cornell the administrative head of 
both institutions, but would maintain 
the work practically as at present, both 
at Ithaca and Geneva, except that it 
would stop duplication of experiments 
and research work. This bill passed 
the Assembly almost unanimously. 
* H: H: 
Senator Rabenold’s bill to amend the 
Conservation Law, providing every 
hunter and trapper having license to 
wear a button in a conspicuous place, 
has passed both branches of the Legis¬ 
lature and now goes to the Governor. 
Milo D. Campbell is Dead 
J UST as we go to press, word comes of 
the death on March. 22 of Milo D. 
Campbell of Coldwater, Michigan. 
Mr. Campbell, for years president of . 
the National Milk Producers’ Federa¬ 
tion, had just been appointed by Presi¬ 
dent Harding to the Federal Reserve 
Board. He took the oath of office for 
this position on Friday, March 16 as 
a representative on the Board of agri¬ 
cultural interest. Mr. Campbell was 
playing golf at Washington with ex- 
Senator Townsend when he dropped 
dead. He was seventy-one years old. 
No man in America was more sin¬ 
cerely interested in agriculture or has 
done more for the farmers than Mr. 
Campbell and he was well known and 
loved by farmers from coast to coast. 
Dairymen especially will feel the loss 
of Mr. Campbell who was an energetic 
and conspicious worker for better con¬ 
ditions in the business.—The Editors.
